Pompeii, The Forgotten City

Pompeii, also known as the forgotten city, was a Roman settlement that was devastated by volcanic eruptions in 79 A.D. It is located in the province of Naples (Campania, Italy). The city was first occupied by Romans in the 6th century and converted into a resort city. Today, it is an attraction for archaeologists from all over the world due to the fact that most of the architecture has been preserved by the ashes from the volcanic eruption.

The volcano that was responsible for the destruction of Pompeii is Mount Vesuvius. The eruptions from the volcano were so strong that the buildings and the people were covered in twelve thick layers of mud and ash. After the city was covered in volcanic ashes, it was slowly forgotten and erased from the history books until it got rediscovered in 1738 by workers working for the King of Naples. Since then, it has become one of the earliest excavated cities in the world.

Before Pompeii succumbed to the eruptions, it was a blossoming township and a progressive commercial port of the Sarno River in Italy. The most notable buildings that have been excavated from the ashes are a Roman basilica and an amphitheatre. The excavations also include many intact wall paintings, pottery, and coinage.

In today’s world, the University of Bradford is responsible for most of the excavations and provides the history of the great city in the form of photos available on the internet. The city of Pompeii is a highly-visited tourist place due to its unique architectural designs and its history.

I did a project on Pompeii, at first I thought it was going to be boring coz u know school is boring… but this is one of my favourite, most interesting, awesome projects ever!!! This really puts me back in perspective of what it was like back then. It sounds like a really interesting place and the facts are outstanding for all the websites I’ve been on of Pompeii and this is such a great place I love Italy. 🙂

THIS PLACE ROCKS go smash it if u want because everyone knows u can’t do anything to this awesome place coz u are such a wimp and your only a 2 year old this place is so interesting and exciting it puts me back into perspective of what this place was like so u obviously have no idea how amazing this place is.

Pompeii is an awesome city and even though it was covered by ash it was discovered and the volcano that covered it in ash…(MOUNT VESUVIUS) is as awesome as the cities it destroyed. the people who h8 pompeii and vesuvius should learn more about the city and the volcano more so they can love it more than they do. 🙂 !)=) 😕 :>
